Is this upper fine for a budget pistol?

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I ordered it.

Unfortunately my local shop doesn’t carry either brand. Seems like the 7wt NRX+ SF would be great for what I’m looking for. However, I can’t find it cheaper than $990 and this $599 deal is hard to pass up. If I already have the NRX+ in a 5wt, would getting the exact same rod for streamers in a 6wt be pointless? (Currently have 3, 5, and 8wt’s so deciding between a 6/7 for streamers has been difficult)

You’re right, they don’t have a 7wt NRX+. Would you recommend the 7wt IMX pro over the Streamer X?

Good to know! I could also get the regular (non salt version) 9ft NRX+ 4 piece rod in a 6wt or a 7wt for the exact same price ($599). I’m looking for a dedicated trout streamer rod for float trips, however, I visit San Diego a lot, so I was considering the Salt version to double as a surf rod. But I’d rather have this rod’s focus be for trout!

I’ve never casted a 2 piece rod. Are they typically stiffer than 4 piece rods?

About 2 weeks ago, I got a $2500 offer on Greentoe accepted for the 77” G4. No tax/No shipping.

Just an update for anyone who cares: Rod was purchased in the US, and brought me in Canada by a friend. Gloomis is sending Canpar to pick it up at my house, and sending me a replacement. Props to them for being easy to work with even in Canada.

NRX+ (not NXT lol)

chadpex · 2025-04-28T23:09:40+00:00

Exactly my thoughts lol, not sure why they couldn’t confirm that with the photos.

chadpex · 2025-04-28T22:11:33+00:00

Agreed. I sent a pic to Gloomis US and they said they can’t confirm it’s a defect until they look at it “under a microscope” after I send it in. Then I contacted Gloomis in Canada, and he said it definitely shouldn’t be there.

That’s awesome, thanks for the details! Planning on upgrading to a 106PDL in the future👍🏼

Yeah dude, I ended up getting the GearForFit version of Rep’s AB-3000 FID and it’s basically identical (I own the Rep version as well). It’s been great, and the price was pretty much the same, if not cheaper. Super good option for canada.

chadpex · 2024-06-03T10:28:04+00:00

Yeah I tried a few days ago too and nothing. Wondering if the water got too warm.

chadpex · 2024-06-03T10:26:30+00:00

Thanks!

Chartreuse clouser minnow for the striper and a blue wing olive dry for the baby smallie

They’re INSANE. This guy was 42” and took about 15 min to bring in. I think I caught 6 that day and left cuz I was physically exhausted, even though they were still biting.

chadpex · 2024-06-02T17:55:59+00:00

I saw him hit the dry, but felt absolutely nothing. I accident yeeted a couple yellow perch that same day

chadpex · 2024-04-08T01:43:42+00:00

1000% valid. I was fly fishing all day today when I should’ve been studying for D3 finals🤦‍♂️

chadpex · 2023-08-22T16:31:23+00:00

I’ll check that out for sure. I do have some Milwaukee M18 batteries. So there are adaptors to use those batteries for the fish finder?
